Documentation and Communication are the two major keys. It's always a little important to "self-promote" yourself within your team on the contributions you make. There should be clear communication through proper documentation on a frequent basis to update your supervisor about your work and your progress. Be professionally courteous and even offer a hand of help to learn, develop and train your team members. Always remember - empathy and hard work can never go amiss!

If a team member takes credit for my hard work, I would approach the situation calmly and professionally. I’d have a private conversation with the colleague, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and shared recognition. If the issue persists, I'd document my contributions and involve my supervisor, focusing on facts rather than emotions. Ultimately, my goal is to maintain a collaborative environment while ensuring my efforts are acknowledged, demonstrating my commitment to both professionalism and team integrity.

But don’t worry, focus on the main objective and company results, if you are the person who is responsible for having good results, it is a matter of time for the truth to be seen.
